Student Project Toolkit is now available!
Projects are a terrific way for students to build their teamwork, planning, organizational, and communication skills. But for many students, managing a successful project can be a daunting prospect because they lack basic know-how and tools to bring their innovative project ideas to life.
Introducing the Student Project Toolkit! This new, online resource provides a broad range of useful tips, tools and templates to help students manage every step of a project competently and confidently. Available under a creative commons license and funded through an AIF grant, the Student Project Toolkit is a collaboration between the Learning Commons and the Envision YU project with the support of research assistants from the Professional Writing program. Along with its companion resource, the Student Guide to Group Work, which launched last year, students are now equipped to independently navigate the challenging aspects of group and project work.
This Student Project Toolkit includes:
· A short introductory video (2:13 mins) that outlines the fundamentals of project work.
· Three sub-modules, each featuring a short video (2-3 mins each), practical tips, explanatory links and downloadable checklists, templates and activities:
The Student Project Toolkit will be invaluable for student groups and associations, students in Work Integrated Learning (WIL) or Work/Study positions, or project-based courses. York instructors, staff, and supervisors can refer students to the Student Project Toolkit to support their efforts to independently create and manage high-quality projects that are often a highlight in their university experience.

Do you dread group projects in your courses and extra curriculars? If so, you aren't alone. Many students struggle on group projects and so try to avoid them whenever possible. But the skills you develop by working on group projects - teamwork, planning, organization, and communication - are all highly desirable in the workplace.
Rather than avoiding group projects, lean into them. The newly launched Student Project Toolkit and its companion, the Student Guide to Group are here to help.
Together, these resources equip you with the tools, tips and templates that will help you master group projects in your courses, your work, and your extracurricular activities. Knowing how to conduct successful projects is a highly transferable set of skills that provide a solid foundation for any career path.

New season of What’s UP(SA)? Podcast!
Beginning your university life at York can be exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time. There’s a big learning curve to adapt to, especially now that we are transitioning back to in-person classes. It can be very overwhelming for first year students, who also have no knowledge of university courses and how to be a successful student. But don’t worry! In this episode of What’s UP(SA)?, host Aleksija talks about the basics on how to succeed in university with guest speakers Christina and Zahra. They share tips and advice about going back to school, like important supplies, self-care, and scheduling tips, as well as goal setting and completing goals, including how to stay motivated and how to avoid burnout. The transition from online to in-person classes is also discussed, since being back in a physical classroom is different but also a great opportunity to enhance your learning experience.

STUDENT COUNSELLING, HEALTH & WELL-BEING IS HERE FOR YOU
Hello from Student Counselling, Health & Well-being (SCHW)! We are a department in the Division of Students that supports the mental health and well-being of students at York University.
We wanted to take a moment to let you know about the FREE services and supports we offer.
Peer-led Workshops
Our team of peer health educators host workshops on a variety of well-being topics including Mental Health 101, Nutrition Basics, Sleep for Better Grades, Healthier Coping Strategies, Self-Care, and much more. To see what is offered and to sign-up for a workshop,
take a look here: https://counselling.students.yorku.ca/workshops
Individual Counselling
SCHW offers same-day and appointment-based counselling in a safe and non-judgemental space. University life can be challenging,
and our team of counsellors are here to help you feel heard and understood. Simply book online for our walk-in services here.
The online booking system opens every morning at 8:45 a.m. EST for same-day booking. Please check back in the system throughout the day. Spots may open as other students cancel. Student preferences regarding counsellor identities (e.g. BIPOC, LGBTQ2S+, etc.)
will be considered for ongoing counselling/short-term therapy. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us, our services are confidential and no problem is too small. We are here for you!
Group Support
Some students may prefer to meet with peers for encouragement and support rather than – or in addition to – meeting with a counsellor
one-to-one. If group support is something that interests you, you’re in luck! SCHW will be offering the following groups (all of which are facilitated or co-facilitated by counsellors) during 2022:
· LGBTQ2S+ Support Group
o A bi-weekly support group open to York’s LGBTQ2S+ students, hosted by SCHW counsellors who identify as part of the LGBTQ2S+ community.
· Process Group
o A weekly group led by a SCHW counsellor with a variety of discussion topics that change each session based on student needs. Sessions are held on Mondays and Tuesdays.
· Racialized Students Support Group
o A monthly group hosted by racialized counsellors that provides a safe space for BIPOC students to reflect on their identities and experiences.
· Support Group for Survivors of Sexual Violence
o A weekly support group for survivors of sexual violence co-facilitated with The Centre for Sexual Violence Response, Support & Education.
· Gay Men’s Process Group
o A weekly group committed to discussing issues related to the gay men and/or queer men community.
· Grief & Loss Support Group
o A safe and secure group where participants can process grief and find validation in a space focused on providing hope and support. Entry into this group is offered through referral from SCHW counsellors during individual appointments.
· Monthly Trans and Non-binary Support Group
o A group facilitated by a trans-masculine social worker who specializes in supporting trans and non-binary folx wishing to navigate gender.

We will be giving out licences every month, so add your name here.
